I love Japanese gyoza pork and cabbage dumplings. You can make them in a variety of ways, but I have the best results when I sauté them stovetop.
As a condiment for dipping, you can dunk them in soy sauce or ponzu sauce which is made with soy sauce, mirin wine and citrus. They are very good with snipped green onions and rice on the side. Pickles go well with this too for crunch and a fermented, probiotic side.
A link for them at Nob Hill follows:
H Mart sells these and you could probably find them at Asia Pacific Market in Marina, California as well.
Happy Cooking!
